UltraClean is a chemical compound designed to remove acid etching from Xenon motion picutre reflectors. Acid etching is a condition that exists mainly in high pollution or seacoast areas. As acid builds up on a reflector, the heat generated by the bulb bakes it on the glass of your reflector. This condition creates a "haze" over the surface that reduces the effectiveness of your reflector, rendering your picture dull and lifeless. UltraClean removes this haze, restoring your reflector to a mirror finish. Ultraclean can also be used to remove detergent buildup form projection port windows. Certain window cleaners leave a soapy film behind, creating a messy looking port window. If you can't wash it off, apply a little UltraClean to a soft towel. It will remove the residue quickly. UltraClean is available in 12-ounce bottles for $24.95 plus shipping and handling. Or it may be ordered from your Cinema Equipment Dealer.
Recently this hot mirror was compared with Strong's existing standard using an incident light meter. When the new hot mirror was installed, the meter registered an increased of two camera stops. The heat level was less as well. Robert's Cinema Service in Montreal Canada uses heat filters in their 16mm and 35mm Projection Applications. Because their objective is maximum light output, heat is always a problem. They are able to use one of these filters in applications where formerly two were required. ADVANTAGES: In projection, the filter provides more light, with much less heat on the gate. It is visually clear. High visual transmission, high infrared reflection, excellent separation of visible and infrared radiation. Color neutral at either 5500K or 3200K to +/- 150K. Tough. Easy to clean. OPERATING TEMP: Up to 600 degrees Centigrade. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES: This heat filter shows no green cast in the visual spectrum. This factor is to the advantage of television production companies, which use this in spotlight requirements. CAUTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: In using this product with Xenon Laboratories, it is recommended that the heat filters be installed at an angle to avoid "bouncing" the heat right onto the bulb. |
